Hi, I'm sorry if this has been beat to death, but I'm new to this. I was a MOC guy until a couple weeks go.
I have a John Cena with a black mark on his leg no I'd like to paint it, plus this is just good stuff to know. It's Series 76 Cena.
If anyone knows of a good site for custom accessories, I'd love to know. I need/want a new Undertaker hat or an Asuka entrance robe.
Thanks everyone!

See if you can clean it off gently with a magic eraser first. That's what I'd recommend. After that, Reaper Miniatures sells a mountain of cheap amazing paints at reapermini.com (but they are cheaper at miniaturemarket.com) including a load of various fleshtones. If they don't have an exact match then you should be able to mix one using their paints. One tip, use a bone color to lighten your fleshtones, and darker "tanned flesh" tones to darken. Just make sure you clean the figure first, you are thinning your paints so you get a nice smooth application on the figure. Then use a sealer on top to protect your paint from being damaged by handling or the figure being dropped in the future.

I hope you have a great time with it! Be careful with the eraser, it can take paint off if you aren't careful!
